168 KINGS ROAD WEST Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 168 KINGS ROAD WEST sales between August 2005 and May 2019 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the December 2011 sale was for 10% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% above the HPI over time, until the May 2019 sale, where it rises to 57% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 57% above the HPI.
